Even if we assume that can we be sure he'd really be "present." I'm seeing this in my day to day as well post George Floyd. That event has triggered new ways of looking at things amongst many people, Irving included. People are more inclined to say "fuck it". I don't necessarily mind that at a personal level. But if someone is deeply conflicted about whether his profession is part of larger problem or not then it's hard - for me - to trust he'll deliver. I think he should retire and pursue social justice causes. But if he wants to play then he has to be 100% committed. I don't think he's figured that out.

I just don't think it's that complicated. Kyrie doesn't want to get vaccinated. New York City says if you are not vaccinated, you cannot attend any indoor event. He could play road games but the Nets are not letting him do that. So again, if Kyrie were in a Bulls, Suns, or Heat uniform, he'd be playing basketball right now.

Then when you have to play the Knicks or Nets in the playoffs he can not play in half of the games. Hard pass.

Out-of-town teams/players are exempt from the mandates.

But starting in January (15th I think) you won’t be able to play in Canada without being vaccinated, home or away. Just have to avoid the Raps in the playoffs.

Lonzo Ball and Coby White For John Wall? Houston wants to get out from under that contract. Bulls would have to eat a year and a half of salary.

The way the league is constructed this year it just might be the move to put them over the top.

Bulls might have to throw in another bench guy in order to make the deal work. I don't know NBA deals have to be dollar for dollar.. I just think they have to fall within a certain percentage to make them work.. I don't know for sure but this is probably the only move out there that's doable that can put them over the top this year.

Would you do it?

Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes was the first to report that five-time All-Star John Wall has officially reached a buyout with the Houston Rockets.

If the former All-Star talent does end up eating LA’s mid-level exception, the Clippers would likely be unable to retain big man Isaiah Hartenstein.

That would be a nice pickup out of nowhere.

Ball, Coby, and a first for Kyrie?

Yes. I don't quite dislike Kyrie enough to turn that down.

If the Nets are willing to take Westbrook then they'd have no problem with making this move.

Doesn't Westbrook still put asses in the seats? He probably also still makes some people believe that his style of play is winning basketball.

No problem with Kyrie's game but he's a psychological mess. Plus he's not an alpha.

Maybe if the Nets gave the Bulls a first for taking him off their hands. Fuck Kyrie.

If this particular trade were offered the Bulls should do it and fast. Doubt that it would be however. It seems the only team willing to take on Kyrie are the Lakers and that is only because Lebron really, really wants him on the team.

I still think you can’t win a championship without a top 5-10 guy.

If you can get one for scraps, you’d be insane not to do it.

Particularly when he is on an expiring contract and really needs to produce in or to justify a huge payday for himself.

Kyrie not top ten anymore. Might not even be top 15. You have to show up to qualify for that list.

Giannis
Luka
Trae
Ja
Mobley
Embiid
Tatum
Booker
Lavine
DeMar
Butler
Curry
LeBron
Garland
Randle
Kat

And more are way more valuable than part time kyrie.

Kyrie played in almost as many games as Lonzo Ball last season

True but he didn't cause two guys to force trades to get away from him either.

Those 2 guys would never choose to play with Lonzo or Coby if they ever had the choice as they did Kyrie however.

Durant's request to be traded is supposedly based on his disapproval of the way Nets management has treated Kyrie.

AFTER they paid Durant to rehab and made deals to appease him.

Coby and Lonzo being bad doesn't make trading for Kyrie a good idea. Guy doesn't care anymore and the fact only the Lakers have any real interest is telling.

As Woofley has noted numerous times Kyrie would have played if not for NYC's mandate. The Nets also told him to stay at the crib as opposed to playing in Road games. I question his commitment to the game too but if there were no questions then this deal would never be possible in the first place.
He is on an expiring contract. If he doesn't want to play then cut bait with him at the end of the year. What are you really losing if you have to do that? One guy you can't give away and a guy that misses as much time as Kyrie does?
